I have a problem with class inheritance in Python; it may not be related to inheritance, but I have no other idea. I am working with selenium web driver. Here is the code I'm using:
from selenium import webdriver
class UIInterface(object):
def __init__(self):
self.driver = webdriver.Ie()
self.driver.get('URL')
def parentMethod(self, itemClassName = ''):
allElements = self.getAllElements()
return [el for el in allElements if el.get_attribute('type') == 'checkbox']
def getAllElements(self):
return self.driver.find_elements_by_tag_name('input')
class InterfaceChild(UIInterface):
def __init__(self):
super(InterfaceChild, self).__init__()
def childMethod(self):
returnedList = self.parentMethod(itemClassName = 'SomeClassName')
for item in returnedList:
print item.get_attribute('innerHTML')
This code gives me an error for the string returnedList = self.parentMethod(itemClassName = 'SomeClassName'); this error description:
(<type 'exceptions.AttributeError'>, AttributeError("'InterfaceChild' object has no attribute 'self'",), <traceback object at 0x000000000418E5C8>)
I thought that this may be due to inheritance, so I tried to put parentMethodand getAllElementsin the class InterfaceChild; same exception. Any idea on this ??
EDIT 1:
This is the main method for instantiating classes:
if __name__ == '__main__':
ieInterface = InterfaceChild()
ieInterface.childMethod()
This is a complete stack trace:
